Why Top Hospitality Brands Trust Patrice & Associates to Deliver Talent That Performs

In today’s hospitality landscape, great service starts long before a guest walks through your doors — it starts with who you hire. Whether you’re running a high-volume restaurant, a boutique hotel, or a multi-unit food service operation, your people define every moment of the customer experience.

At Patrice & Associates, we understand that hiring isn’t just about filling a seat — it’s about finding the right person to lead, inspire, and elevate your brand. With more than three decades of experience, we’re proud to be North America’s leading hospitality talent partner.

Hospitality Recruitment Is Our Specialty — And Nobody Does It Better.

We don’t dabble in hospitality — we live it. Many of our recruiters aren’t just staffing professionals; they’re former operators, managers, chefs, and hospitality executives who understand the fast-paced, service-driven culture of your business.

This real-world experience gives us the edge when it comes to identifying the talent that will thrive in your unique environment. From restaurant GMs and executive chefs to corporate-level leaders and operations directors, we place professionals who are ready to make an impact from day one.

Passive Talent. Proven Results.

The best candidates aren’t browsing job boards — they’re busy leading teams, serving guests, and driving revenue. We use a proprietary blend of data, outreach, and industry connections to reach top-tier talent that most firms never even see.

We engage passive candidates who are open to the right opportunity — one that aligns with their skills, values, and career goals. That means you get access to better talent, not just available talent.

Fast, Focused, and Built for Your Business

We know time is money. A key vacancy can create ripple effects across your entire operation — missed service standards, burnt-out staff, and lost revenue.

That’s why our process is built to deliver high-quality, fully vetted candidates — fast. Our clients often receive top candidates within days, not weeks. Each comes with detailed profiles, interview notes, and our expert assessment on cultural and operational fit.

A Recruiting Partner You Can Count On

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. We work as an extension of your team, learning your brand, your challenges, and your goals. Then we build a recruiting strategy that works for you — not the other way around.

Our partners include:

• Independent restaurants and hotel operators

• Fast-growing franchise groups

• National and global hospitality brands

• Contract food service providers

• Casinos, resorts, and more

Whether you’re hiring one leader or scaling a team across multiple markets, we bring the tools, talent, and experience to help you succeed.
